Inclusionary zoning references

[SCM]

I am writing some inclusionary zoning recommendations and was wondering if anybody has any up to date reference materials to recommend. I have a copy of the PAS Report on Affordable Housing which has some great examples but is a little out of date (1991)! Any suggestions?

You might try the Non-profit Association of Northern California, which has just published a (positive) review of California inclusionary housing examples.

Try the Reason Public Policy Institute, which has just published online "Housing Supply and Affordability: Do Affordable Housing Mandates Work?" I have some big problems with this study, but it certainly provides a different (negative) view.

Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority Program.....interesting read.....

Davis, CA has one of the best housing programs I've seen. They have a specific housing section to their Municipal Code, which includes inclusionary zoning requirements, growth management via housing unit allocation, etc. The Land Use Planning Information Network (LUPIN) in California has a comprehensive list of all of the CA municipalities that have inclusionary zoning requirements... then you can do a search for the ones that are most similar to your circumstances.

Inclusionary Housing in Large Cities

What about inclusionary housing programs in large cities? Have they been successful? Any opinions on whether they should be mandatory or voluntary?
